Clowes to Pen the Gondrys’ Animated Movie

/Film has learned from Be Kind Rewind writer/director Michel Gondry that Dan Clowes (Ghost World) will write the screenplay for a new animated movie from Michel and his 16-year-old son, titled Migel Munya:

“[The movie is] about a dictator who runs a crazy world where hair is the source of energy. The people there are forced to create art, and if the art is too good they are executed. So the dictator there doesn’t want anyone to be better than him so he kills the inmates who make good art. They try to make rubbish art but sometimes the worse it is for them, the better it is for the dictator.”
